Response
Other Resources from Texas A&M Forest Service are responding to a wildfire in northern Erath County. Crews are working in Unified command with Erath County fire department. There are multiple structures threatened and they are being protected at this time. Aircraft, dozers, engines are all working to protect these structures and construct line around the perimeter of the fire.
With very hot conditions and low humidity much of the area is extremely dry and is primed for fire starts. Any fires that do start will likely grow quickly and make dangerous conditions for first responders.
